I was disappointed that the expected low tide sandbar did not appear as anticipated. Personally, I felt that the time to the port and the boat ride was long, and I also had too much free time with the various activities.
期待した干潮のサンドバーが期待通りに現れなかったので残念でした。個人的には港迄と船の時間が長く感じられ、また各種アクティビティも時間を持て余し状態でした。
特になし。
Aloha Takechan,
Thank you very much for participating and for your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for not being able to show you the sandbar during low tide and for not meeting your expectations. The condition of the sandbar and water levels vary from day to day and are greatly influenced by natural conditions. We will continue to strive to improve our tour content and guidance methods so that everyone can have a more fulfilling experience.
We would be grateful if you could visit us again when the opportunity arises.
Mahalo.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii. Activities like banana boating were also fun. It was a luxurious experience condensed into three hours of extraordinary moments.

It's a good idea to check the weather forecast and tide schedules a few days in advance before making your reservation.

Due to a last-minute change, I participated in the Dolphin University tour. From the hotel pickup to the return, it was a very enjoyable tour filled with hospitality.
The tour involved a medium-sized cruise (with about 30-50 participants, including international guests) to the dolphin spotting area. Once we found dolphins, everyone jumped in together and swam a little to where the dolphins were, which we did twice. Then, we moved to a snorkeling spot where we swam while looking for sea turtles.
From the boat, we could see several wild dolphins swimming and breathing. During the swimming part with the dolphins, we were able to see a few dolphins swimming in groups up close in the water. However, since dolphins swim quickly, some people seemed unable to see them, so there was a bit of luck involved. The tour guide provided clear guidance to ensure everyone could see, and since we could see them from the boat, I think everyone was satisfied.
Additionally, at the snorkeling spot, the slide attached to the boat was also very enjoyable, not just the snorkeling itself. Overall, it was a tour that I would love to participate in again.
直前の変更でイルカ大学への参加となりました。
ホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、ホスピタリティ溢れる非常に楽しいツアーでした。
肝心のツアー概要は、イルカのスポットまで中型クルーズ(海外の方含め30-50名ほど参加)でイルカスポットまで移動し、イルカを見つけたらみんなで一斉に飛び込んでイルカがいるところまで少し泳ぐ、というのを2回やった上で、今度はシュノーケルスポットに移動してウミガメを見つけながら泳ぐと言う流れでした。
イルカについては船の上から、息をしたり泳ぐ野生のイルカが何匹も見れます。ただイルカと泳ぐパートについても、海の中で数匹で群を成して泳ぐイルカを近距離で見ることができました。ただイルカも泳ぐスピードが速いので、一部の方は見ることが出来なかったようで、運の要素も少しはあるように感じました。ただツアーガイドの方はみんなが見れるよう、しっかりとガイダンスを出していましたし、船の上からは見れたので皆さん満足していたように思います。
またシュノーケリングスポットでは、シュノーケリングのみならず船併設の滑り台も非常に良かったです。
全体として、また参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
If there is one thing to note, it can get quite cold on the boat if the wind is strong and there is no sunlight, so I recommend bringing one extra layer than you might expect.
一つあるとすれば、船上は風が強く日差しがないとかなり冷えるので、思ったよりも1枚多く上着を持っていかれることをお勧めします。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the dolphin school, Hahh. I also appreciate the five stars. I'm glad you were able to see the dolphins underwater!

We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.
The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.
I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.

The tour itself was great - however the instructions were very clear that if you were late you’d be left behind. The guides let people wander in as late as 930 although check in time was 845 and the boat was supposed to leave at 9. Table choice was also not first come first serve - they saved the window seats for people with children so despite our group being one of the first to arrive we were placed in a center table and the people arriving 45 mins late and holding up the whole group got the window seats.
Once on the water the tour was great :) guides were friendly and helpful

We received a phone call and email in advance informing us that the dolphin middle school tour was canceled due to the captain's sudden health issues. They also suggested participating on another day or joining the dolphin university tour (with a free upgrade) that was held on the same day. We decided to join the dolphin university tour, and it turned out to be a great decision. As soon as the boat set sail, we were able to see a pod of dolphins from the deck. After about 30 minutes out at sea, we entered the water and were able to see the dolphins swimming underwater. We discovered dolphins at another point as well, but since they weren't swimming in a consistent direction, we ended up watching them from the boat there. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
キャプテンの急な体調不良によりイルカ中学ツアーが中止となることを事前にお電話、Eメールにて連絡を頂き、あわせて別日での参加、もしくは同日に開催されるイルカ大学(無料アップグレード)への参加を提案頂きました。私たちはイルカ大学に参加することにし、結果として大正解でした。ボートが出港してすぐに船上からイルカの群れを見ることができました。そして30分ほど沖に出て、今度は海に入り、泳いでいるイルカを水中から見ることもできました。別のポイントでもイルカを発見しましたが、一定方向にイルカが泳いでいなかったこともあり、そこでは船上から見ることになりましたが、大満足のツアーでした。
It's important to have measures in place for cold protection when coming out of the sea and to prevent seasickness.

This dolphin tour was really fun. It was a valuable experience, and I felt safe using it. For those who are worried about seasickness due to the waves, I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication. The driver who picked us up, the captain of the boat, and the crew who guided us were all very attentive and excellent. They also provided drinks and snacks.
However, I was disappointed with the optional photo sales in the latter part of the tour. I think it would be better to include it in the tour cost or have those who want it speak up. I purchased the photos, but the images of the people who participated with me also came along, so we should consider the privacy concerns that Japanese people might have.

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.
潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。
Dear Tuna,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your valuable feedback.
The appearance of the sandbar can change significantly depending on the tides. During low tide, the sandy beach becomes visible, while at high tide, it may be submerged. If you want to ensure a good view of the sandbar, we recommend checking the tides in advance.
On the other hand, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as interacting with our crew in Japanese.
Once again, thank you for your valuable advice and warm review. We hope you will join us again at a different tide level to enjoy the various expressions of the sandbar.

このたびはツアーにご参加いただき、貴重なご感想をお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
サンドバーの姿はその日の潮汐によって大きく変わり、干潮時には砂浜が現れ、満潮時には海中に隠れてしまうことがございます。サンドバーを確実にご覧になりたい場合は、事前に潮汐をご確認いただくことをおすすめしております。
一方で、シュノーケルやサップを楽しんでいただき、弊社の日本語でのクルーとの交流などをご満喫されたとのお声を伺い、大変嬉しく思っております。

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.

I was filled with anxiety on my first overseas trip, but there were people who spoke Japanese, so I had no problems at all.
I had a great time on the banana boat and bumper tube, teetering on the edge of falling off! Both activities required wearing life jackets, which made me feel safe.
During snorkeling, I also wore a life jacket and just swam on the surface, but at the snorkeling spot, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles and lots of small fish welcoming me! While touching the sea turtles is not allowed, you can get close enough to take pictures with your smartphone! Just be cautious of seasickness as the boat sways constantly. Also, it was just us, but after we finished, I was so cold that my body was shaking, so if you're worried, it's best to prepare a jacket or a bath towel to keep warm.
There was about a 30 to 40-minute wait from the pickup to the start, and after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, there was a little over an hour before snorkeling, so you can grab a meal at nearby restaurants during that time.
For changing clothes, there was something like a changing room for one person, and there were two lockable restrooms where you could change. However, I just dried off with a towel without changing, and no one said anything while providing transportation.
Tips are given to different drivers for each boat, so after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, you give a tip to that driver, and after snorkeling, you give a tip to the snorkeling guide.
初の海外旅行で不安だらけでしたが、
日本語を話せる方もおり、何も問題ありませんでした。
バナナボートとバンパーチューブでは落ちるか落ちないかの瀬戸際で楽しませて頂きました!
どちらもライフジャケット着用なので安心です
シュノーケリングでもライフジャケット着用し
水面を泳ぐだけでしたが、ポイントではウミガメが2匹
とたくさんの小魚が出迎えてくれ大興奮!
ウミガメは触るのはNGですが、近づくのは大丈夫なので
スマホでも撮影できます!
常に波に揺られるので船酔いには注意です
あと、私たちだけでしたが、終わった後に体が震えるほど冷えたので、もし不安な方は暖を取れるよう上着やバスタオルをしっかり準備した方がいいです。
送迎後から開始までに30~40分程、
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ終了からシュノーケリングまで1時間と少し時間があり、近くに飲食店もあるのでご飯はそのタイミングで済ませられます。
着替えは、1人分なら更衣室のようなものがあったのと、
鍵のかかるトイレが2つあるのでそこで着替えられますが、私は着替えずにタオルで拭いただけの濡れた状態でも特に何も言われず送迎してくださりました。
チップはボートごとに運転手が違うので、
バナナボートとバンパーチューブが終わったらその方に、
シュノーケリングが終わったらその方に渡します。
Be careful of seasickness and getting cold, and pay attention to the timing for giving tips!
船酔いと体の冷え、チップの渡すタイミングにご注意を!

I stayed at a hotel near Kuhio Beach. I changed into my swimsuit at the hotel and took The Bus to get there. There were no particular landmarks at the meeting point, but staff appeared as the time approached. The staff spoke only English. It was a good decision to come in my swimsuit instead of changing there. The meeting point was in front of the restroom, but it was unavailable. There was a restroom on the yacht.
I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews, and none of my family of six experienced seasickness. The yacht, with its pink sails against the blue sky, was very beautiful. There were two staff members, who might have been brothers. They were cheerful and very kind. I was a bit anxious about not understanding English, but I felt at ease.
Since I can't swim, I borrowed a life jacket. During snorkeling, we were guided to a spot where we could see sea turtles. There is a rule that you must not approach within one meter, and if you accidentally get too close, you will be stopped. There were many beautiful fish, and I could have watched them forever. After snorkeling, before heading back to the port, we went a little east, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
クヒオビーチのホテルに宿泊。あらかじめホテルで水着に着替えてザ・バスで移動。
待ち合わせ場所には特に目印がなく、時間が近づくとスタッフが現れました。スタッフは英語オンリー。
更衣室やなく水着を着てきて正解。
トイレの前が待ち合わせ場所でしたが使えませんでした。ヨットにはトイレがあります。
他の方の口コミを参考に酔い止めを飲んで参加。家族6人全員、船酔いすることはありませんでした。
ヨットはピンクの帆が青い空に映えてとても素敵。スタッフは2人で、兄弟?だったのかも。
明るくとても親切。英語が分からず不安もありましたが、安心して過ごせました。
私は泳げないのでライフジャケットを借りました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメのいるポイントまで案内してもらえました。1メートル以内に近づいてはいけないルールがあり、うっかり近づきすぎると制止されます。魚もたくさんいてとても綺麗で、ずっと見ていたいくらいでした。シュノーケリングが終わった後は、港に戻る前に少し東に走らせてくれて、美しい景色も堪能できました。
There is no shower, and you will need to air dry. Since you can't get on the bus while wet, I dried off a bit and put on a T-shirt or a resort dress before getting on the bus. It's also better to use
シャワーはなく自然乾燥です。濡れたままではバスにも乗れないのである程度乾かして上からTシャツやリゾートワンピースを着てバスに乗りました。トイレも済ませたから参加したほうが安心です。

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!

I participated in the second tour. The weather was amazing, the guide was fantastic, and it was a very enjoyable time. After we arrived at the point, we started playing in the water, but during lunch, the tide was high, so even at a shallow point, I, being 153 cm tall, could barely touch the bottom. It's definitely important to check the tides. After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, but about half of the group stayed on the boat.
2便に参加しました。お天気サイコー、ガイドさんもサイコーで、とても楽しいひとときでした。ポイントについた後、水遊び開始ですが、お昼は満潮近く水位が高かったので、浅瀬のポイントでも153cmの私でやっと足がつくかつかないか、でした。やっぱり潮の満ち引きは要チェックです。しばし遊んだ後シュノーケリングでしたが、半分くらいの方は船上に残っていました。
After it's over, there aren't many places to change. Since there are only three public restrooms, after finishing, I have to wrap myself in a towel while still wet and get into the car.
終わった後、着替える場所があまりありません。公衆トイレは3部屋のみのなので終わった後は濡れたままタオルで包んで車に乗り込みます。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。

Thanks to the lovely Japanese guide Fuko, who greeted us with a smile, I had a great time throughout the trip. She talked a lot about Hawaii while we were on the boat and brought us drinks; she was truly a considerate tour guide. A pod of spinner dolphins swam around the boat for a long time, jumping and showing off their cute appearances. During snorkeling, we saw several green sea turtles. There weren't many fish, but I was very satisfied!
お迎えの時から笑顔が可愛い日本人のフウコさんのお陰で、終始楽しく参加させて頂きました。
船の中でもハワイの事をたくさんお話してくれたり、ドリンクを持ってきてくれたり、本当に気遣いの素晴らしい添乗員さんでした。
ハシナガイルカの群が長い時間船の周りを泳いでくれて、ジャンプしたり可愛い姿を見せてくれました。シュノーケリングではアオウミガメを何匹も見れました。お魚さんはちょっと少なかったですが、大満足でした!

I participated in September. The staff were all very kind, and the instructions were provided in both English and Japanese, which was very considerate. I was a bit anxious since it had been a while since I went snorkeling, but they explained in detail how to put on the gear, safety tips, and what to do if water gets in, which made me feel at ease. Not only did I see dolphins (including mother and baby dolphins!), but I also got to see turtles and even some rare seals, making it a truly fulfilling trip! When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to experience this tour once more.
9月に参加しました。スタッフの方々は皆さんとても親切で、インストラクションも英語・日本語交互で行われる丁寧さがありました。シュノーケリングが久しぶりだったので不安でしたが、付け方や注意点、水が入ってしまった時の対応方法等を細かく説明してくださったので安心しました。イルカ(親子イルカも!)だけでなく、亀や珍しいあざらしまで見れて、本当に充実した旅になりました!またハワイに行くときは、ぜひこちらのツアーをもう一度体験したいです。
Aloha! Thank you, Duck, for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate you sharing wonderful photos of dolphin families, the sacred Makua, and seals. Meeting marine life against the backdrop of the magnificent nature of West Oahu is truly a wonderful experience! Thank you for your comments about the staff and instructions as well. I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour until the end with peace of mind. Please do come visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
